Lee Ji-Eun's POV
There's no way-
Right?
"IT SEEMS THAT YOU DON'T BELIEVE ME" god speculated
No! The answer I wanted to hear was the opposite! How can this be true! Itzy is not complete without one of the members! Especially without Lia! Why!
"I PERMIT YOU TO ASK QUESTIONS REGARDING THIS" god allowed
"I, why, Lia" I stumbled
I can't complete my sentence. I have so many questions that I need an answer to. Like, how did Lia die? Am I taking over Lia's hard-earned work? Did Lia approve of this? Why me?
"I SEE. THEN I SHALL START ANSWERING YOUR QUESTIONS" god responded
How- ahh right, god
"YOUR FIRST QUESTION HOW DID CHOI LIA DIE? WHILE ON LIVE SHE HAD A HEART ATTACK AND DIED. SHE WISHED THAT SHE COULD'VE LIVED LONGER TO ACHIEVE MORE ACHIEVEMENTS BUT I AM NOT SO POWERFUL TO MAKE THE DEAD LIVE AGAIN. SO I SUGGESTED THAT SOMEONE ELSE CAN ACHIEVE IT FOR HER AND ASKED FOR HER PERMISSION. SHE APPROVED AND I PLACED YOUR SOUL IN HER BODY. I ANSWERED TWO OF YOUR QUESTIONS. NEXT, ARE YOU TAKING OVER LIA'S HARD-EARNED WORK? NO, YOU'RE JUST CONTINUING HER WORK. LASTLY, WHY YOU? IT'S YOU BECAUSE ITS RANDOM" god explained
I'm dumbfounded.
"I know Lia approved but you didn't even bother asking for my approval! I also am a person who lives my own life! And it's me because it's random? What the hell! What if I didn't get picked and the person that has family was picked? What if the person that was picked was bad and does something to other members and takes advantage of Lia's fame and wealth! Argh, I'm so frustrated! You should be thankful that I got picked, a person without a family!" I grumbled
It's not like I hate it so much, I am honored to be able to be with itzy and continue Lia's work but the problem is I feel bad that I am in her body when she's gone. Also, I have to be Lia, I can't even sing. And I'm not good with socializing. I'm not good with many people looking at me. I will have to pretend I am Lia with her family and itzy. I have to lie to them.
*CHUCKLES* "THAT'S RIGHT, IM THANKFUL YOU'RE THE RANDOM PERSON THAT GOT PICKED. THERE'S A SPECIFICATION TO THE RANDOM PERSON THAT WILL GET PICKED, I WOULDN'T LET JUST ANYONE, SPECIFICALLY, SOMEONE THAT WILL HARM A PERSONS HARD-EARNED WORK AND SOMEONE WHO'S ALREADY HAPPY IN LIFE. YOU'RE VERY CONSIDERATE AND THOUGHTFUL. I ALSO HOPE YOU BECOME HAPPY. YOU HAD A HARD TIME, RIGHT? THIS IS THE LAST TIME WE'RE GOING TO COMMUNICATE SO YOU SHOULD ASK WHAT YOU CAN ASK. AFTER THIS, I WILL BE IN A LONG HIBERNATION" god agreed
"Then, for the last question. What's my purpose as me, Ji-Eun's soul, in Lia's body?" I asked
"THAT'S YOUR WORK TO FIND OUT" *GIGGLES* god said as he departs
It's been so long since I performed. I'm more than average in dancing but in singing, I'm below the average. Since Lia is a good singer, it might help but I'm not too sure. Will I do good? I hope everything goes well. I don't know if I'll be able to be friendly with itzy members when we were just strangers before all this happened, I was just a mere fan. The most concerning thing, my trauma might resurface.
